Perfectly functioning, classic coffee press jug with well thought-out extras: the high-precision fit of the components ensures pleasantly smooth handling. The double-walled, vacuum-insulated stainless steel construction of both the jug and the lid keeps the prepared coffee at the right temperature for up to three hours, while the outside of the jug remains cool. The integrated sieve is also made of stainless steel and the drip-free spout and heat-resistant handle are practical features. The seamless and jointless surface makes cleaning easier and ensures the iconic, monolithic exterior. Typical Aarke!

When two Swedish industrial designers take on the treatment of tap water: It shows!

Aarke makes water really good - the idea is as simple as its implementation is complex. Carl Ljungh and Jonas Groth, founders of the Swedish design company Aarke, are industrial designers through and through and have been dedicated to the treatment of tap water since 2013. This now very successful venture began with a real nuisance: in their search for a well-designed sparkling water maker, the two Swedish friends despaired at what was available. And not just in terms of aesthetics, but also in terms of function, choice of materials and production. The conclusion was as clear as it was quick: There's a better way - let's just do it ourselves!

Since then, no half measures have been taken under the Aarke name: Aarke develops and produces kitchen appliances - water bubblers, filters, kettles, coffee makers and even glasses - that work convincingly and look good to boot, with the highest standards for every detail and component, no matter how small. The clearly legible and pure design belies the complex inner workings: Carl Ljungh and Jonas Groth, together with engineers and technicians, scrutinize mechanisms, pipes and springs - lever action, pressure distribution and every last detail, take things apart, rethink and optimise until everything - from function to design - is exactly as it should be. So that the water is really good.
